Are You at Risk for Heart Disease?

February is Heart Month

Heart disease continues to be the cause of the greatest number of deaths among adult Americans. We know that the best weapons against heart disease are knowledge and treatment. So
we recommend this simple two-step survey. Read each question carefully. Select Yes if you have any of the symptoms described. Select No if you do not.

You answered NO to all of the nine survey questions. Keep this survey handy for review every 6-12 months.

If you answered YES to any of the nine survey questions, you’re at an increased risk of having a heart attack. If you don’t know your blood pressure or cholesterol, check with your healthcare provider.

Only a physician can determine if you are at risk for heart disease. To find a physician in your area, contact us at 954-724-6349.
